Your Scream Is Pounding Through My Veins
Getting back into the swing of updates. I recall it keeping me sane during the early days at St. Mary's. Besides, I realize now that I need to be able to look back when I'm feeling nostalgic. Go me!
Today has been a rather groggy day, so forgive me if the writing is erratic and sentances not fully coherent. The grogginess could be attributed to the 11-12 hours of sleep I got last night (with the exception of about half an hour around 3am when people on my floor started being douchbags, as per usual, and woke me up with their yelling that lasted until... well, after I went back to sleep). Too much sleep turns me into a zombie. I'm going to see Anarchist again, and I'd like to be somewhat alert, so I'm making a cup of tea. It's White tea, plus cherry flavoured green plus matcha. One of the three should get my brain functional!
Yesterday was decent, given it was a Friday. I have no classes on Fridays, so my weekends are long, and I tend to spend nearly the entire 72 hours in my room, which is probably the cause of my depressive-tendancies... being cooped up, that is. Yesterday, however, I had sewing from 9-10, then was social for about half an hour while I waited for Ned to get to his office; I was to meet with him to brainstorm monologue ideas. He likes me, and he makes no attempt to hide it (hm.. interesting tea blend... could use some honey), and it's pretty clear he would like to see me make it into second year. When I was home for Thanksgiving, Finn gave me a lecture on getting rid of my "I have backups because I don't think I have what it takes" attitude. It's really changed me. I am an actor. It's funny to say that. Anyway, the real point was that I've been more confidant and focused since then. I HAVE to get into second year. And I will.
Anyway, then the bakesale took place. Our tarts were popular.
Showered, went to Aikido. Worked with big wooden sword type thing. That was interesting. My wrists are too weak for that, though. My hyperextending elbows are also working against me. Although, one of the Sensei said he can show me countermoves other people typically can't do because of my flexible shoulders and elbows, which is pretty cool. Aikido is fun, and the people are quite easy to get along with... mind you, about 80% of them are males who are in sciences. It's amusing. Engineering students and physics students and a lot of computer geeks. Then there's the few of us who freak them out by being non-science. One girl is a writing major, one guy is an English major (going the teaching route), one of the Sensei did his history degree at UofC (poor thing... granted, UofC wasn't quite as shitty then), then me, the eccentric actor. Funtime. After Aikido, we went to watch samuri movies. Well, one movie. Three wine coolers later, I began to wish for less movie and more getting to know people. Mind you, I'm a touchy-feely drunk, and I couldn't rightly touchy-feel people I didn't know too well, so that's probably why. Needless to say, I'm hoping for more get-togethers with more talking and less movie watching.
Today began at 11:30 with a big breakfast in the caf. I'm getting less worried about my weight: less starving and more eating healthy. Ran into a guy named James from theatre, and decided to join him as he goes to see Anarchist tonight. Because of all the ad libbing in the show, closing night -- which is tonight -- is bound to be insane! Went to workout... it was a good workout. Went to the library, picked up some scripts for monologue hunt, as well as a book for my Theatre History paper. Now just wasting time while I wait to go to Anarchist. Now that I think about it, I really ought to get ready now, or I'll be late.
Cheers.
